TechRadar: Microsoft has responded to the myriad reports that Kinect has been 'hacked' by saying that it always wanted its motion controller to be open.
According to a transcripted interview with Microsoft program manager Alex Kipman, Kinect hasn't been hacked at all, merely played around with.
Gen Z and Gen Alpha are reshaping gaming with new habits and higher expectations. Here's what the latest research says.
Feels off ive seen a ton of younger kids get more into traditional gaming through the switch.
Mario and even sonic are still huge franchises that kids want to get all the merchandise for and I think more traditional gaming will stay safe.
You're getting some downvotes, but I support this. I started my kids with retro games first before I moved them in more modern gaming. They have a real appreciation for NES, SNES & Genesis especially. Good gaming parents should do this.
I did the same. I let my kids start with 2600 and work their way up to modern... just like their old man.

" game subscriptions as standard" LOL. They like throwing their money away only to complain once a game they play all the time gets removed. They need to be taught on how to torrent, Usenet would probably be too much involved for them.
2025 cloud gaming trends are looking good, but it’s not all smooth yet. We break down what’s working, what’s not, and what comes next.
As someone who has been gaming nearly as long as gaming has been around (since the early 70's), you'd think I'd be against this. Having grown up with all the major platforms and the whole notion of physical ownership... but I'm not. i embrace this as it is a revolutionary convenience. And one i know for a fact many (especially here) have not even given the fair chance to use. I get it... i was there too. But now i have a new outlook on it. It really is a hell of an option if you just want to play with no commitments. By no means am i saying this should replace traditional gaming, its an option. And one that people should look at optimistically as a way to compliment traditional gaming. There is room for both to thrive.
I tend to use streaming on new games in GamePass. To see if I like the game. If I do, I'll download it for a better experience. It's so convenient & useful.

I think it's cool what modders are doing with Kinect. I posted an article just a couple of days ago with some of the cool things that they've got Kinect doing. I especially liked the real time 3d imagining that the one guy had. It'll be cool to see what the modding community comes up with, and if Microsoft will make use of some of their ideas in the future.
